Gigasampler sounds
Here is a page maintained by Jon Griffin with free samples. In this case the samples are in .gig format used by the defunct Gigasampler.
http://jongriffin.com/free-giga-samples/
It specifies that they are free and Free and the requirement is to credit the author of the gig file, so I guess that there is no problem in using those.
Now, the .gig files need to be converted into 16bit WAV files. I am struggling to find a linux program to do this. If somebody knows of one, please let me know.
Apparently this shareware program (for Windwos) can do the conversion:

Re: Gigasampler sounds
I use Extreme Sampler Converter for conversion between different kind of patches. It works very good. But only for Windows unfortunately.

Re: Gigasampler sounds
Here is the 12 string guitar sample contributted by Tagutteberg from the website above.
Oh, it sounds unbelievably good... and so much better that the 12 string program in A:16:3 Here is the sample and here the program (the sample should be in slot 132).

Re: Gigasampler sounds
@Mr. G what's the name of that song? Isn't it one composed by Rush? Seems like a very cool recognizable riff to show off the sound

Re: Gigasampler sounds
Definitely Right!! I guess I was confused there by a moment. I used to play this song (doing chorus voices) at the same time I was prepping up for a Moving Pictures cover, so I guess that's my confusion I played those songs at the same timespan.shark wrote:Sounds like "more than a feeling" by Boston from 1975, Gustavo.

Re: Gigasampler sounds
Yes that is right, but I have no idea if it is in the right key. I think it is a very good sample.shark wrote:Sounds like "more than a feeling" by Boston from 1975

Re: Gigasampler sounds
For info, GigaSampler samples could be converted to WAV therefore NSMP* format using the ConvertwithMoss conversion tool.
Other formats are also available.
